Proverbs 21:17-20

New International Version

¹⁷Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.^(A)

¹⁸The wicked become a ransom^(B) for the righteous,
and the unfaithful for the upright.

¹⁹Better to live in a desert
than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.^(C)

²⁰The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down.

Proverbs 21:17-20

King James Version

¹⁷He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

¹⁸The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

¹⁹It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

²⁰There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

New International Version (NIV)
